SAVE PAPER – SAVE TREES
Professor Ahmad draws the attention of the children to another cause of deforestation. He tells them that it takes 17 full-grown trees to make one tonne of paper. Therefore, we should save paper. Professor Ahmad also tells that paper can be recycled five to seven times for use. If each student saves at least one sheet of paper in a day, we can save many trees in a year. We should save, reuse used paper and recycle it. By this, we not only save trees but also save energy and water needed for manufacturing paper. Moreover, the number of harmful chemicals used in papermaking will also be reduced.
